　　百折不回

　　At the battle of Ypres in 1914, British colonel Walter Loring made no concessions to the Germans. Mounted on a white horse, he was leading his men on the Menin Road when his foot was smashed by a bullet. The medical officer ordered him to the rear, but he told the man to “ Go to hell ” and asked his servant to bring his slippers.

　　一九一四年，英国的沃尔特.洛林上校在伊普尔战役之中对德军寸步不让。他骑白马率军沿梅宁路推进，一颗子弹把他一只脚打得血肉模糊。军医叫他退到后面，他却叫军医去死吧，要仆人把拖鞋拿来。

　　Equipped with these he remounted his charger, only to suffer a fall as the horse was shot under him. He then mounted a bay and rode on a short distance before this too was shot. Hobbling with a stick, he continued to lead his men up the road and, urging them onwards, he died.

　　他穿上拖鞋，再跨上白马，不料白马中枪，堕下马来。他于是改骑一匹红棕马，但走不多远，那匹马也被射死，惟有拄手杖一拐一拐的继续领军，死在途中，死前还鼓励手下奋勇向前。
